Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: update entries affecting VIA Technologies

Since the original maintainer-Joseph Chan (josephchan@via.com.tw)
doesn't handle the Linux driver for VIA now, I would like to request to
update the maintainer for the SD/MMC CARD CONTROLLER DRIVER and VIA
UNICHROME(PRO)/CHROME9 FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER before we find a better one.
Thank you very much for help.

- the patch was still space-stuffed.

- Use "Signed-off-by:", not "Sign-off by:"

- please cc the relevant mailing list and maintainer (Geert) on patches

- As you (Florian) forwarded the patch, it should have included your
  Signed-off-by: as well.  I made that change to my copy of the patch.
